This is similar to the annual Debt Review Awards process. It is a

chance for not only the entire industry to shine (and take a moment

to pat one another on the back) but also for individuals, companies

and practices to find out how they stack up against their peers. Be

sure to catch our preview article, as everyone gets ready for the

online Awards show on 10th of September.

This month we consider how the pandemic has not slowed down

unscrupulous people who are out to take advantage of others. Like

true parasites of society, these scammers continue to try leech off of

hard working people, regardless of the consequences.

We hope the articles in this issue help you become more aware of

these types of scams and more wary of other possible scams.

You may not have the muscle bound body of an Olympian in peak

physical condition, but if you are in debt review, then you too have

been working on achieving a truly amazing long-term goal - the goal

of getting out of debt.

Much like a training athlete, success in debt review comes from

staying focused, being willing to cast off distractions, learning to shop

better, to save harder, to make the budget cuts others cannot, or

simply are not prepared to make.

If you can do this, then soon you will lift aloft your gold medal in the

form of a clearance certificate, showing that you are winning at life

and have become debt free!
